MTL - This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic-Chapter 354 All villains

  Chapter 354 All villains

   Watching the two walk away from the window, Mu You hesitated for a while whether to send Zhan Ying to follow.

  But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. These two people are very vigilant, and they may be exposed if they arrange a follow-up.

   Shaking his head, Mu You returned to the game.

  On the other side of the dungeon, the blocked path on the second floor was dug up last night, just as the new power furnace on the old goblin's side has also been completed.

  The ancient energy conversion furnace is essentially an ancient power furnace, and it can only output the upper limit of the power of the ancient power furnace, but now it can add violent energy other than magic crystals.

   This thing + Senling core is equivalent to a pseudo perpetual motion machine, which can not only provide kinetic energy for his mecha skin, but also be used in the alchemy factory to directly supply energy to the entire factory.

  Starting with the power furnace, Mu You drove the mech directly that night and cleaned the bottom boss on the second floor.

  The boss on the second floor is just the opposite of the first floor. It is an ice-type monster. The dropped items are the same as the first floor, a purple sky suit, an evolution gem, 10,000 experience books and 50 points of permanent ice resistance.

  Evolution Gem requires blacksmith level 5 to use. For the time being, you can only watch it. What is really useful is the experience book.

  With two 10,000 experience books in a row, plus the daily salary these days, Mu You's experience bar has made a breakthrough again and has been upgraded to level 17.

  Currently his level and attributes are: level 17 (7215/163840), strength 28, agility 56, intelligence 84, constitution 32, free attribute 2, HP 7200, mana 12400.

  As for the reclamation of the third floor of the dungeon, it has not yet started.

  The main reason is that the lower the dungeon is, the more difficult it is. The first floor requires players with a level ten or above to be able to stabilize the strategy.

   The number of players who can reach this level is already very small, and they are still waiting for the "feeding" of the white dragon mother.

  So the advancement of the third floor has temporarily stalled.

   There is no rush for this, and Mu You's focus now is outside Sky City.

  After many days of cruising, Dawn City finally arrived at the target site of Cook Islands yesterday morning.

   After half a month of drifting at sea, the new map is new to the players.

  After arriving yesterday, many people couldn't wait to explore the city.

  However, according to the feedback from the posts on the forum, this new map seems a little weird. Many people will be attacked suddenly while walking on the road, and then they will either be planted with Gu, or have their waists choked and stolen. After the end, the murderer cannot be found.

  In short, this new map seems to be full of tricks. Many players leave happily, but in the end they all return in anger. Few of them can get benefits in this area and come back.

   After dying a few times without making any progress, many players naturally gave up exploring, and their stamina and lifespan are not worth wasting here.

  Many netizens who have been tricked have appealed in various forums: Never go to the Cook Islands out of curiosity, you will definitely lose money on this map!

   There are even some radicals, who are already calling for Dawn City to go to war against the Cook Islands!

It is of course impossible to start a war. Now is the golden age of Sky City's development. Fighting a war is a lose-lose approach. Moreover, starting a war without sufficient reasons will greatly reduce the evaluation of the city owner. Those who call for war may not necessarily be Li Ming city ​​people.

  Mu You made Dawn City stop in the waters one nautical mile away from the Cook Islands, then left the city and set foot on the islands below.

   This place is occupied by the Undead Society. I promised the little girl to help her save her sister, and this place has something to do with the shadow ghost on him.

  【The Cook Islands, located in a chaotic place east of the Laner Empire, consists of a main continent and more than 30 peninsulas connected to the periphery. There are rumors that this place is the junction of life and death, so the sky here is shrouded in dark clouds all the year round, and there is no sunshine. 】

[The closed environment has led to conservative beliefs, poor information, and extreme xenophobia. Many people will never leave their place of residence. At the same time, almost every household grows poisonous weeds and raises Gu seedlings for self-protection. The surrounding countries all refuse to do business with this place. , causing it to become more and more closed. 】

  【You appear in Wutou Village, one of the 98 villages in this chaotic land. 】

  【You are walking on the streets of the village, and the surrounding villagers look at you indifferently. You want to go up to ask something, but no one is willing to talk to you, and they all walk away. 】

  【You have to move on. 】

  【While passing an alley, you were suddenly attacked from behind by two hands, and you fell to the ground. 】

  【By the time you struggled to get up, the attacker had already fled. 】

  【You check your body and find that nothing is missing, but there is one more thing. 】

  【You have been planted with 'Heart-biting Gu'. 】

  【Heart-eating Gu: A kind of monster Gu worm, which devours 1 point of health of the bewitched person every second, and stops swallowing when the life of the bewitched person is lower than 100. 】

  【Once the magic Gu is planted, it will be integrated with the human body. Even if it is resurrected after death, the Gu insect will also be resurrected, unless you take the Gu insect out actively. There are two ways to take out the Gu worms. One is to take the Gu worms violently by yourself, but if you don’t have enough experience in taking Gu worms, it will cause the Gu worms to be destroyed and permanently devour your 100 life limit. The second is to look for the 'Gu people' who can be found everywhere in the Cook Islands. They only need to pay some life costs, and they can take out Gu worms for you without any sequelae. 】

   Good guy!

  Mu You originally thought that the rumors of deceitful people on the forum were a bit exaggerated, but he didn't expect it to come true so quickly. He was overcast right after he landed on the island, but instead of being squashed, he was planted with Gu worms.

   It devours a little life value every second, and it will automatically stop when the life is too low.

  But when I think of a bug crawling in my body at any time, I still feel very uncomfortable, and I will subconsciously want to take it out.

And forcibly fetching worms will permanently deduct the upper limit of life. Although it is only an inconspicuous 100 points, it is the upper limit after all. If you reduce it, you will get less. What's more, if he can hit a Gu now, he may hit it many times in the future. The upper limit is reduced every time, no matter how many blood bars there are, it is not enough to reduce it.

   From this point of view, once you get hit by a Gu, you can only go to the so-called 'Gu takers' to spend money to eliminate the disaster.

  Forcing people to play Gu, and then forcing people to spend money, it is obvious that this is a chain of interests, and it is all a routine.

   Mu You shook his head. In fact, at this time, he can directly go back and avoid the Gu, but there is no rush. He is going to take this opportunity to figure out the situation here first.

  【You grabbed a passing villager with the body of a Gu, and asked him where he could find a 'Gu taker'? 】

  【The villagers enthusiastically showed you the way, and personally took you to the nearest Gu fetcher's house. 】

   "Tsk tsk."

  The corners of Mu You's eyes twitched, and he wouldn't talk to him unless he got a Gu, it was so realistic.

  【You came to the house of the person who took the Gu, and asked him what the price is for the Gu? 】

  【The old man who took the Gu glanced at your attire, and raised ten fingers at you: Take a Gu once, and you will live ten years! 】

【your choice…】

  【You choose to turn around and leave! 】

  Mu You thought about watching people download videos. It's a pity that Fools have such a convenient communication tool as forums.

  The information brought back by the wasteland reclamation team yesterday has been made public on the forum. The devotion is once every 5 years, but when I come to him and see that he is equipped, I want to secretly double it. It's not that easy.

  This ghostly place is full of Gu people, and the most feared thing is to sit on the ground and raise prices.

  【The decisiveness of your turn around made the other party realize that his behavior of raising the price has been exposed, so he hastily stopped you and corrected the price of taking Gu: once every 5 years! 】

  The price is corrected back, but it still takes five years. This lifespan cannot be spent in vain, and Mu You is going to gather some information by the way.

  【You agreed to the price of the Gu person, but at the same time, you asked a question, and the transaction can only proceed after the other party answers it. 】

  【Your question is: Where is the location of the Undead Society? 】

  This is the main purpose of Mu You's coming here: to find the Undead Society, to find information about Ye Rumeng's sister and Shadow Ghost.

  【The Gu-taker's face changed slightly when he heard your question, and he waved his hands hurriedly, indicating that he is just a Gu-explainer and cannot answer questions. The residents in the village have a clear division of labor, and each performs their own duties. But you can ask the beggars in the village, beggars are know-it-alls in this area, and they will tell you a lot of information with a little reward. 】

   "emmm..."

   Mu You had a strange expression on his face. He didn't expect that a small, run-down village would be so particular about it, and only earn what it deserves.

[The Gu taker probes into your body with a pair of tongs, and takes it out after a few seconds. A scrambling Gu insect has been caught on the jaws. When the Gu insect is exposed to the air, it immediately dies whining. Down into coke fragmentation. 】

  【Your lifespan -5 years, the Gu worms in your body disappeared. 】

   Having dealt with the Gu worms, Mu You didn't talk nonsense with them, and immediately went out to find the beggar.

   As a result, it was only when I went out that I discovered that the Gu incident just now was just the tip of the iceberg here.

  【You see a golden treasure chest on the side of the road, and no one is guarding it. 】

  【You are driven by greed, you go forward to open the treasure chest, but find that the treasure chest is empty. 】

  【When you opened the treasure chest, a bug burrowed into your body along your finger. 】

  【You have been planted with the 'Wealth Gu', and your lifespan will be reduced by 1 extra day every day. 】

   "Backtrack!"

  …

  【You continue on your way, and suddenly you see a kind old woman standing at the intersection ahead, holding a food basket in her hand. 】

  【The old lady smiled and waved to you when she saw you. After you approached, she took out a piece of fragrant snack from the food basket: "Child, hurry up and get hungry, come and eat."】

  【You take the snack and eat it, gain +1 physical strength. 】

  【You didn't notice that there was a Gu worm mixed in the snack, and you ate it together. You have been planted with 'Gluttony Gu', and your hunger speed doubles. 】

[You asked the teacher to ask the crime, the old lady looked at you with an 'apology', and said that she forgot to wash her hands when making snacks at noon, and accidentally mixed Gu insects in, but you don't have to worry, she knows a cheap Gu master, it only takes 3 years life…】

   "Backtrack!"

  …

  【You found a sneaky person following you, as if trying to steal your things, you stopped and turned around, and exposed him in public. 】

  【I didn’t expect this person to become angry from embarrassment. He rushed towards you angrily, and even wanted to rob you in the street. You choose...】

  【You choose to counterattack, and several magic shots are made, killing the opponent on the spot. 】

  【You killed the 'Gu Feeder', lifespan +1, you are infected with Rage Gu, and will always become impulsive and irritable. 】

  【Gu feeders: Plant a variety of Gu insects in their bodies since childhood, and feed Gu insects on their bodies. Those who kill them will randomly get a kind of Gu insects from their bodies. 】

   "Backtrack!"

  …

  【You saw a young woman standing by a well on the street, and asked you anxiously for help, saying that her old man had just accidentally fallen into the well, and asked you to help save her. 】

  【You stepped forward to help, leaned over to look into the well, but the well was empty, it was a dry well, where was anyone? 】

  【You suddenly feel a push coming from behind you, you were pushed into the well, and a Gu worm took the opportunity to drill into your body. 】

  【You have already been poisoned by the Poison Gu, when you are poisoned, the poison damage will be doubled. 】

   "Backtracking..."

  …

  Mu You didn't expect that he would experience so many cheating incidents along the way just to find a beggar, which made him fully feel how malicious this place is to outsiders.

  Of course, there are some obvious signs of events, but Mu You still relied on his pocket watch to step on all the pits, so that he could provide information to the strategy team later, so as to prevent others from being deceived again.

Originally, Mu You thought that the aborigines here would be afraid or disgusted if he brought a city of people here, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. In the eyes of the people here, he probably sent a city of fat sheep here. .

  No matter how chaotic other cities in the astral world are, most of the ordinary residents are lawful, but this place is full of villains!

  Of course, the fourth natural disaster is not easy to mess with. The characteristic of players is that they are good at finding bugs, and once they catch a bug, they can squeeze their wool to death.

   It can only be said that the people in this place had better not let them find bugs, otherwise the enthusiasm of tens of millions of players can wipe out the backward social system here to collapse in minutes!

  【You saw a beggar near the edge of the village. 】

【When a beggar sees you approaching, it is like seeing a piece of walking gold. He rushes towards you and asks you what you want to know. He grew up begging on this island and is very familiar with everything here. , as long as a small reward, he knows everything! 】

   Beggar, this career setting should be the same as the scarecrow in Anning Village, you can spend money to buy information about the current map.

  Mu You first confirmed the eye, this is indeed an NPC, not after the player played the role, and then began to interact.

  【Rich adventurer, what do you want to know? Due to the restrictions of the village rules, the same beggar can only answer you at most one question per day, after all, you have to leave some jobs for other colleagues. 】

  【1. Ask why there are no shadows under the feet of people here. It takes 30 years to live. 】

  【2, Ask why no children can be seen here. 15 years of life is required. 】

  【3, Ask about the permanent control method of Gu insects. A 100-year lifespan is required. 】

  【4, I am not interested in the above, I want to spend money to buy additional information】

   After reading the text, Mu You was taken aback for a moment. There are no shadows under the feet of the people here?

  He really didn't notice this, because the place was covered by dark clouds, the shadow was not obvious, and the previous event text didn't specifically mention this.

   But mentioning shadows immediately reminded him of shadow ghosts. Shadow ghosts seem to be born from shadows. Could it be that the shadows of the people in this place were all used to make shadow ghosts?
